The mountain being Scott's refusal to listen.  I am talking about
Robert here, and not Michael.

That is you.  I too stated my dislike of how Scott was doing things.
I agree with both Robert and Michael in one respect.  That is, Scott
should have asked people before doing what he did.  If that meant
sending a netmail to everyone in the nodelist with a Dynamic IP
number, then so be it.  In that netmail he could have stated simply
that if he did not receive an answser within X number of days, he
would take that as agreeing.  Finished. and while some might still be
pissed, they would not really have a leg to stand on, other then if
they could prove they never received the netmail.  Then a simple
matter of removing said node, if that node actually so desired.

That is you.  Like Robert said, it doesnt hurt anything, but asking
politely is the key here.  Saying that you are going to do so
regardless of what people want, does not make you many friends, and
that goes double so if that person happens to be on the FTSC

Perhaps.  Most people would not be, but some certainly would know.

I have no idea.

It only turned to fist slamming after Scott egged him on by refusing
to even listen.  This refers to Michael.  Robert never did any of
that.  He politely asked, and was told to stop waisting his breath
because the answer was always going to be NO.  That too is the
schoolyard bully approach.  Tit for tat, etc etc.
